The five great packers of the coun
try may be in a dark alliance to
fnonopolize the meat and grocery bus
Iness of the country. They may even
be trying at this time to wring ex
.horbitant profits from the people and
may in time become a great menace to
the nation. They may be very bad
apeo)le, so far as we know, but It ap
pears to us that those who are trying
1to''place the blame upon tlie packers
rfor the high cost of living right now
- are on the wrong trail. The Federal
Trade Commission, with all of its
staff of lawyers and auditors has not
yet been able to disprove the packers'
claim that their profit is but two cents
on the dollar of business done and
we all know that this small profit rep
resents but a small part of the total
cost of meats.
Judging from newspaper accounts,
as well as local conditions, there is a
demand for houses in nearly every sec
tion of the country. People are put
out of rented homes 'without having
- cther homes to go to. No one seeins
to offer any satisfactory solution of
the problem, though the reasons for
It may -possibly be laid to two causes.
One is the natural increase of the
poulation in towns due to the desire
of country people for better educa
lional facilities and more social ad
vantages. Increased prices of farm
lands and farm products have made
this possible. Increased values placed
upon city real estate and the advanced
cost of building, due to high labor
costs and building material profits
has kept the investor from building
for rent. Profits on rented .property
have always been low, according to
landlords, and new costs of houses
make it impossible to build at a profit.
All of this will In time adjust itself, as
It is already doing, and rents will be
raised to a point where building will
again become -profitable. Unpleasant
as this may sound to renters, it is
nevertheless to be expected.
